The Cultural Council organised a Debate Competition on 18th July, 2019. The objective of this event was to help students develop speaking skills, to learn to work in a team and also to polish their critical thinking. The topic of the Debate was “cell phones and smart phones have propagated more evil than good.” There were total of 23 participants. The participants were divided into 2 teams: FOR the topic and AGAINST the topic. The event had 3 rounds. In the first round, all the participants put forward their view points. 10 participants were selected for the second round, in which each team asked the opposing team 2 questions. In the final round, each speaker made his/her concluding remarks. Two prizes were awarded- Best Speaker which was won by Ms. Falguni Khatri and Best Interjector won by Mr. Shawn Menezes. Students from all the departments participated enthusiastically. The volunteers also coordinated well and the event was a great success.
